Hi, thanks for the video it's really helpfull. One question ; is it possible to use Brave 6 plus as live stream cam?

[@ryanTDG]

This video still works well 4 years later. Thank you!

[@jj-pk2fh]

I got the akaso EK7000 in january 2017. I broke the screen over a year ago an can only see about 80% of the screen but its still going strong today, ( WARNING READ THIS ) only bad thing is when i got a replacement waterproof case it wasn't fully waterproof, NEVER put the camera in the waterproof case till you know the case is fully waterproof, put some toilet paper in the case an then sink it in water for half hour. dont let it float on top of the water, if the paper is dry your ready to go :) hope this helps

[@ladyliss5516]

I know this video's quite a bit old now, but I just wanted to say this was an excellent review. I actually watched it beginning to end, I wasn't even tempted to click off--and with my lovely ADHD riddled self, that says quite a bit! If I'm watching a few different kinds of videos, I tend to skip around on the time bar the whole time, haha. But you caught and held my attention 100% for well over 16 mins now--even enough to ramble in a comment for the next hour! Ha! XD So! Great information, above all! You come off very authentic; I love that you actually got excited and showed real emotion, like you spoke from your heart. You definitely weren't boring, you have good energy, and you seem very comfortable on camera. You did a great job putting this video together, too. I was very glad to see that you have all of your equipment used to shoot listed in the description, thank you! :P (Can I ask what you use to edit/finalize your videos, before uploading them on here?) I think what I loved the most was how you didn't just automatically advise to go get the newest, and most expensive one out there, but, & more importantly, that you explained *why* you felt the one was better /for you/ than the other. I'm so glad I watched this, just for the fact that you mentioned the external audio options, alone! (..or lack thereof lol) I didn't realize how big of a deal that was until you brought my attention to it! Oh, a BIG thank you for comparing the lack of an external mic vs the camera in the waterproof case, too! Also *loved* how you pointed out the difference between the newest RELEASE vs the newest model CREATED, great distinction. Thank you for this little gem of an exquisitely executed video review, my good sir! As a token of my appreciation, (and a selfish quest for more knowledge! >;D) you have just gained a new subscriber! WOW! This got really long, really fast lol my bad. Ranting has ceased! See you soon in another video! x🤍o

I have the Brave 7 and think it’s awesome. I have no negatives for it at all and the inbuilt mic is terrific quality too. If you are looking for a budget action camera, I can’t recommend it highly enough. What is more, the waterproof case provided enables you to film at 40 meters below sea level that’s around 131ft…

[@LeaTex]

Did you test it underwater? The sound is good there?

[@Great-to-be]

@@LeaTex to be honest, very few action cameras mics are good underwater (if that’s what you’re asking?) but it’s waterproof straight out of the box down to about a metre but with the supplied case it goes down to an insane 40 metres. Lea, it really is epic value and often my ‘go to’ choice. Btw, I also own a GoPro Hero 9 too. Buy the AKASO with confidence mate….it’s a no brainer…..

[@gregtoope]

You are most welcome. Thanks for the great comment.

[@SzymkowiAK47]

I'm the owner of the Akaso V50x. What I like about this camera is: 1. Stabilization, really, really smooth and very enjoyable if you recording vlogs, etc. 2. Video Quality, the best quality you can get is defenitely in 4k mode. 3. External Mike, it just makes the Akaso sound better. 4. Design of the camera, I really like the art of material it was used to build this thing and it looks great. What I hate about this camera: 1. Stabilization, if you are going to shoot very fast action with big shakes, you are gonna be mad. The stabilization is making fast slides when it comes to moving the camera fast and it makes the footage not better. 2. Lens, after turning the EIS on this camera the Image is very cropped in. This is very bad if you are Mountain Biking, where the wide field of view and good stabilization is needed. But not all is lost :). You can swap the lens for wider and it won't crop the image. 3. 4:3 is not avaible, there are only 16:9 resolutions which kinda sucks. 4. Internal Mike, just too quiet and too noisy. Hard to record some quality audio shots. That's my thought on my Akaso V50x. Feel free to comment.

Thanks for this video. I purchased the V50 Pro in September 2022 and it now has the USB Type-C connector on the side.

[@KenJohnsonUSA]

Excellent video. I have the 7000 because I do kayaking, fishing, and hunting videos from time to time. What I hate, and what no one talks about, is (1) lighting needs and (2) the case "pings" on the audio when you're moving and the camera shifts a little. Regarding the lighting needs, unless it is super bright...the 7000 just won't do. I tried using it for a regular video inside my house. I had 6 LED studio lights on me and it looked like I was shooting at night. As for the plastic case, any movement of the camera (when in the case), is picked up and makes a loud pinging sound that is impossible to clean up in editing. I don't know why reviewers never address the issues of indoor lighting (since most small vloggers will use it for i doors as well) and the use of the camera in an aquatic setting (since water-based activities are really huge).

Aug 2024: Thank you. You answered my main question/need and no one else did. I need external power from a power brick so I'm going with the Brave 6 Plus, thanks to you.

My cell phone in the car allows for bright videos. If i wanted to use a hands free mike with antenna for wifi connection to a camera, has a aux. port to connect the receiving end of the wireless mic ? if not akaso, which brand model you recommend for car reviews, and different places I may need to mount it ? without braking the bank ?
